For John Mayer fans
Posted by: u5227470736789524 on 12 April 2008
from Jambase.com, something to look forward to:
Also this summer, a brand new CD/DVD & Blu-Ray package will be available featuring the performances recorded last December at the Nokia Theater in Los Angeles. The special concert includes three distinct sets: an acoustic performance, a rare set with John Mayer Trio (John Mayer, Steve Jordan and Pino Palladino), as well as a CONTINUUM set featuring Mayer's full-band. This will be the first new release since Continuum became available in September 2006 and incorporates each of the elements that the five-time Grammy-winner is known for - acoustic songwriter, electric guitar slinger, bluesman, and vocalist.

Thanks Jeff,
Mayer is class, his playing is full of soul with a hint of SRV if you look for it.
Regards
George.

Thanka Jeff,
Another JM fan here. He's great to watch as well as listen to, as he pours his soul into his performances.
A superbly gifted guitarist to be sure.
John.

on June 28, Eric Clapton, Sheryl Crow and John Mayer - wow, what a day that will be.
Gotta believe EC and JM onstage together at some time during that day.
Anybody p/u the Continuum deluxe release with the additional live songs - may have to check that out. Includes: Vultures, Belief, Waiting On The World, Dreaming With A Broken Heart, I Don't Need No Doctor and Gravity live versions from the full band 2007 summer tour.
The "main" disc is "enhanced", will this help for those slightly critical of the original ?
Anybody tried it ?

Thanks again Jeff.
I was not aware of the 2 CD deluxe version of Continuum - so have ordered a copy from the States.
John.

Hi John
I'll be curious what you think when you receive it. I have enjoyed the "original" just fine, but then you and Steve have much higher levels of equipment than I - hopefully the newer version will be "more" to your liking, as I know you both enjoy the original as well.
Any chance you will make the Hyde Park EC/JM day on June 28 ?
Sheryl Crows "Detours" cd is excellent also. (If you get it, don't be put put-off by the sound of track 1, when track 2 comes on it is stunningly different).

Hi Guys,
Yes I have the one with the live tracks. Sorry John, I thought you had that copy because I know you usually get them from the states. But thinking about it - I think we did talk about the cover being slightly different.
The live track DVD is from Webster Hall, NY. Belief, Vultures, The Heart of Life, Bigger Than My Body, Dreaming With a Broken Heart, Gravity, Waiting on the World to Change, In Repair.
It is better than the first EU copy, but John probably got the US disc.
This one sounds OK to me, not in "The Village Sessions" class, but that is excellent and that version of 'Slow Dancing' is superb.

Thanks for the heads-up, Jeff ... can't wait for the live DVD.
If anyone caught Mayer's Austin City Limits appearance a couple of months ago, you know how smoking powerful his live set can be.
All best,
Fred

The new/upcoming dvd should be great - all three of JM's "characters" on one disc.
Fred, if you don't already have it, and enjoy his earlier pop stuff and a smaller 4 piece live band, "Any Given Thursday" on cd or dvd is terrific.
